Hamilton reveals life-changing moment in BRUTAL admission
Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion, recently shared a formative moment from his childhood that has shaped his determination and resilience.
Known for his remarkable career, Hamilton has secured 105 race wins, 201 podiums, and 104 pole positions, solidifying his status as one of the sport’s greatest drivers.
However, he is still chasing the elusive eighth world title, which would surpass Michael Schumacher’s record and place Hamilton alone at the top of F1 history.
Hamilton has faced a challenging 2024 season with Mercedes, managing only 13 points over the last three races despite his best efforts.
Nonetheless, his perseverance remains undeterred, highlighted by an inspiring victory at Silverstone this summer, which ended a 945-day drought without a win.
In 2025, Hamilton plans to leave Mercedes and join Ferrari, aiming to build on his legacy with the iconic Scuderia and attempt to achieve that record-breaking championship win.
At a recent fan event hosted by Mercedes-AMG, Hamilton reflected on a childhood experience that instilled his unwavering mentality.
Recalling a tough moment when he was around seven or eight years old, Hamilton shared that his father introduced him to boxing and put him in the ring with another child. The match turned physical, and Hamilton was left bloodied after the first round, prompting him to tell his father that he didn’t want to continue.
His father, however, urged him to “never give up,” advice that would become foundational for Hamilton.
With renewed resolve, Hamilton returned to the ring and managed to defeat the other child in the following round. This moment, he says, became a powerful lesson that has stuck with him ever since.
Even in the most difficult times, when giving up might seem like the easiest choice, Hamilton recalls his father’s words and the determination it inspired.
Hamilton’s career has been defined by his ability to push through adversity, and this childhood lesson remains a central part of his approach.
As he heads into a new phase with Ferrari in 2025, Hamilton is carrying forward the same mindset that has driven him throughout his career, aiming to make history once again in Formula 1.
